title: Pemphigus and pemphigoid in dog and man: comparative aspects.
abstract: A review of canine pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus vegetans, pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus erythematosus, and bullous pemphigoid shows them to share many clinicopathologic similarities with their human counterparts. Because of their numerous analogies in clinical presentations, histopathologic and immunopathologic findings, and therapeutic results, canine and human pemphigus and pemphigoid may represent a valuable area for comparative dermatologic research.
